Morphology
The phrase is transparently compositional: 'television' specifies the domain (TV) and 'equipment' denotes the objects or devices, so the combined meaning — devices used for television — is directly derivable from the parts. This noun–noun compound follows a common and cross-linguistically regular pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand it.
Etymology
Television equipment comes from early machines that let people see things far away: tele means 'far' and vision means 'seeing'. That's why television equipment means the devices used to send or receive moving pictures and sound.
